From potential forecast to foresight of Turkey's renewable energy with Delphi approach

A GIS-Based Approach in Support of Spatial Planning for Renewable Energy: A Case Study of Fukushima, Japan

“…These include Multiple-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) [15][16][17][18][19][20], Delphi surveys [21][22][23], and participatory approach [24]. There are also a few methodologies and empirical studies on RE planning in literature.…”

Barriers to the investment in the Concentrated Solar Power sector in Morocco: A foresight approach using the Cross Impact Analysis for a large number of events

“…They find that the actions that should be priorities in the governments agendas for promoting the renewable energy sector are focused on the development of plans to facilitate financing -improving tax incentives (Celiktas & Kocar, 2010;Czaplicka-Kolarz et al, 2009), encouraging subsidy policy (Al-Saleh, 2009;Rikkonen & Tapio, 2009;Rahimian, 2009), etc., -and on the design of a legal framework (Al-Saleh, 2009;Czaplicka-Kolarz et al, 2009;Rahimian, 2009). However, the distinction between companies "with" and "without" presence in the country reveals that these measures allow only boosting investment by companies already active in Morocco.…”

“…Using this methodology, Gordon (2007) studied the global Millennium Project including several energy scenarios, and Czaplicka-Kolarz, Sta nczyk, and Kapusta (2009) developed foresight activity in the energy and fuel sector to identify pathways for development in the time horizon up to 2030 in Poland. More specifically, in the renewable energy sector, studies include Rikkonen and Tapio (2009), who scrutinized future directions for Finnish agro-bioenergy use, AlSaleh (2009) who examined a set of renewable energy scenarios developed for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia up to the year 2050 and Celiktas and Kocar (2010) who evaluated Turkey's renewable energy future. In the particular case of the CSP technology, Rahimian (2009) analyzed the uncertainties deterring the development of the CSP technology in the long term in the United States.…”

“…Based on the analysis of future scenarios built on previous research, it is possible to identify the following priorities in the national energy and renewable energy policies: (i) improving tax and financial incentives (Celiktas & Kocar, 2010;CzaplickaKolarz et al, 2009;International Energy Agency, 2010;PricewaterhouseCoopers, 2010;Rikkonen & Tapio, 2009); (ii) definition of a legal framework (Al-Saleh, 2009;Czaplicka-Kolarz et al, 2009;Rahimian, 2009); (iii) encouraging a subsidy policy (Al-Saleh, 2009;PricewaterhouseCoopers, 2010;Rahimian, 2009;Rikkonen & Tapio, 2009); (iv) allocating budgets to support R&D activity in both the public and private sectors (Al-Saleh, 2009;International Energy Agency, 2010;PricewaterhouseCoopers, 2010); (v) lowering the barriers of bureaucracy (Al-Saleh, 2009;International Energy Agency, 2010;Rikkonen & Tapio, 2009); (vi) and university-industry-government collaboration (Al-Saleh, 2009;Celiktas & Kocar, 2010).…”

Determining performance criteria of railway market: a case study

“…Reasons for clustering in the past have diminished in importance with globalization, new influences of clusters on competition have taken on growing importance in an increasingly complex, knowledge-based, and dynamic economy (Porter, 1998). In this way, with the aim to stay competitive and innovative, companies (or clusters) should consolidate links to external and non-local knowledge into their local network (Celiktas and Kocar, 2010). These links are strongly related to the cluster policies, which can be seen as a recent stage of innovation policy which is one of the important factor of the business competition.…”
